[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1280978, member: 24098"] I'd have to agree with the others here... if you don't like OS X, then you're completely missing the point of the Mac, or it just isn't for you. The hardware isn't really unique - Macs use the same commodity x86 parts that Windows machines do. It's the OS that makes the difference. As far as "not being able to" run the apps you want - it has nothing to do with ability, and everything to do with getting the OS X versions of the software you need. Yes, Parallels and Boot Camp can ease the transition, but if you really don't care for OS X and are perfectly content with Windows, then you have no real compulsion to make what is often a painstaking transition (or a learning experience, if you will). I will say that Parallels was probably the wrong choice for running Windows. Although it's feature-rich, in my experience, it's far less stable than VMWare. So, if you're looking to give it another shot, I'd take advantage of one of the VMWare offers to upgrade at a discount from a competitor product. [/QUOTE]
